A Cure for Consumption.


A novel method of treating patients suffer-
ing from phthisis is described in the current
number of the Medical Record. 1t was de-
yised by French physician, DIR. Bergeon of
Lyons, who has been applying it for two
years to cases of chronic pulmonary and
throat disease. The results are said to be
remarkable. In acute general phthisis there
has been an arrest Of the progress of the
disease and a cure in few months. In adj
yanced consumption marked improvement
OF symptoms is rapidly secured, night sweats
ceasing and the cough becoming less har-
assing. Two hundred cases have been
treated with singular success by DIR. Bergeon
in Lyons, where the climate is unfayorabie
for consumptiyes. His method has been in
troduced In the hospitals there and in Paris.
and the medical authorities are fayorably
impressed with it.
The treatment consists of daily injections
by enema of indicated gases. Carbonic
acid when introduced into the system by
THIS method Is found to be harmless and
painless. Sulphuretted hydrogen is mingled
with 1t, the entire structure Of the lungs is
permeated by the medicated gas and remark
able curative effects are observed The car
Donic acid gas Is practically inert when taken
up by the veins of the intestines, but the sui
phurous gas reaches every particle of dis
eased tissue In the lungs and throat. and Is
eliminated from the system in the process of
expiration. The volume Of gas used is very
large; AT the outset single litre is intro
duced, but the quantity is rapidly increased
to ten or twelve litres for each injection.
The results of this new system of treating
consumption are so well vouched for that we
commend the subject to the critical examina
ton OF medical circles in this country Con-
sumption is the chief scourge of the Atlantic
seaboard. Amy departure in therapeutics SO
radical as this French method deserves to be
thoroughly investigated and adequately test
ed in American hospitals. DIR. Bergeon is
not sciolist, but reputable physician of
large practice and good standing. If his
method be as effective and successful as he
asserts, it merits general attention from the
profession in the United States.

lected for the Dominion elections. The cam,
paign began. however, long while ago, and
in every one Of the provincial elections the
effect upon the general elections which it was
seen could not be postponed much longer,
was one Of the principal considerations that
guided and controlled the leaders Of both
parties The Conservatives have met defeat
in all the provincial elections but one. and
in that one their majority was greatly cut
down. 1t would seem, therefore, that their
fate In the general elections was already
practically settled. But Sir John Macdon-

That the country is coming more and more
to believe in and rely upon the doctrine of
civil service reform, is hardly matter of
question. The people, those who do not
want office nor want to dictate as to Offices,
save in the exercise of an honest judgment
and pure vote, are noting the fact that, all
errors or faults out-taken, there is an i'm
provement in the public idea and practice in
this behalf: and they see clearly that strict
adherence everywhere and at all times to the
policy would be of infinite advantage to the
public service. The system is not perfect.

This insurance agitation will probably do
good. 1t will make the man seeking insur-
ance inquire about the condition of the COM
panies whose policies are offered him and it
will make the agent more careful what poll
cies he offers. We should hesitate to charge
that agents have sought to place insurance
in companies which they knew were worth
less, but there seems to be plenty of evidence
that some of them have not asked many
questions about the companies which they
have represented.

The course of true love between Spies, the

against snag in the shape of refusal on
on the part Of the county clerk to supply a
license without which nobody can marry
them on the ground that as felony is cause
for divorce in Illinois it should be bar to
marriage. The clerk reasoning seems to be
perfect, and good lawyers express the opin-

courts. Miss Van Zandt's friends, who,
strange to say, are in favor of the proposed
marriage intend to ask the courts to compel
the clerk to issue a license

We don't profess to know absolutely
where most of the blame is in the unfor-
tunate struggle between the coal companies
and the handlers. But it is pretty certain
that if the companies had behaved differ
emily in the past they would have more
public sympathy in the present contest than
they are getting. They enjoy a practical
monopoly of the coal supply for the eastern
section of the country and have for many
years past. How they have used this priyi-
lege is matter of general knowledge. It
has been no uncommon thing for them to
deliberately reduce production for the sole
purpose of putting up the price of the pro-
duct thus depriying great many working
men in their own employ of part of their
scanty means of livelihood and increasing
the cost of living Of thousands of other
working men not in their employ but who
are Obliged to buy their coal or freeze. They
have not hesitated to use the advantage
which their monopoly gave them to compel
the public to pay exiortionate prices for
their coal whenever the spirit moved them
to do so. If, therefore, the handlers are
now trying to compel them to pay extor-
Tomato prices they are only doing what the
companies have been doing to the public.
